Figure : A Generic Client/Server System As you can see from the picture, the server has the disks, and clients send messages across a Network to access their directories and files on those disks.
2 SUN’S NETWORK FILE SYSTEM (NFS) CRUX: HOW TO BUILD A DISTRIBUTED FILE SYSTEM How do you build a distributed file system? What are the key aspects to think about? What is easy to get wrong? What can we learn from existing systems? 49.1 A Basic Distributed File System We now will study the architecture of a simplified distributed file sys-tem.
